335 hits (with quotations) and the first one was a conference paper I wrote. All of the MDs on page one had a different middle initial

Wow, aren't you special?

I'm rather proud of the fact that google searches on my name don't come up with anything personal about me. :)

came up with a person of the same name and I have an unusual last name(not common) so I just sent them an email and asked about their heritage

All but one of my results was related to Seti at Home (which we don't even do anymore), and one talked about my induction into my high school's Spanish Honor Society. I'm the only person with my name to come up.

My real name is the same as a used-to-be famous person and my username is the same as a paintball company so I don't pull up anything related to me.

I have googled myself for fun several times. I seem to keep finding myself around the web. Honestly, nearly ever hit really is about me.

Only thing that shows up is some PDF files with Autocross times on them and some football pool website from like 8 years ago.
